Shota is a little boy who runs away from home, due to both of his parents' neglect. With just his piggy bank, he bravely walks out of the house without either of his parents noticing; as both of his parents are doctors and are busy checking patients.

On the other side, Jun-chan is a terminally ill old man who decides to run away from the hospital.

Their paths cross and then somehow they end up travelling to the countryside together.

The story is simple, sweet and heartwarming.

It wonderfully depicts that to love and care for someone you don't really need to have anything in common with them. Not age, not blood.

All we need is our heart.

And I got all that from it without even knowing Japanese all that well. I wish someone would pick this up and translate it.

Watch it with a light heart or when you're feeling very down. It's not all that exceptional but that's what makes it special.
